Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has come to terms with “Xbone” nickname
“At first, I guess the thing that bugged me the most is I didn’t see it,” Spencer told GameSpot. “I’d been looking at the name for Xbox One for months, and I wasn’t clever enough to merge them and come up with Xbone.
“I think it’s going to stick. I think we can say we don’t like it as much as we want, but it’s a clever use of the name. Probably not the most flattering name, but I think it’s going to be there.”

Neuro It's not that bad, it's easier and shorter to say
It took him this long to come to terms with it for whatever reason.

It is only a nickname, it doesn't really mean anything. Xbone is simply a harmless, mischievous nickname for the console, I am rather surprised that the folks at Microsoft took such offence to it in the first place.

PawnStars I wonder if they will ever come to terms with Xbots? ;p
I doubt it. Normally it is just one nickname.
I'm surprised this stuck because it almost sounds like an insult.

Xbone is probably the weirdest nickname I have heard and this is actually the first time i am hearing about this.

Dr-JPawnStarsKatsumiChloe_xD Xbone sounds bad :/ xbox one is short enough x
I also don't think it sounds very good at all, the nickname was originally meant to be derogatory towards the Xbox One though, so it's understandable
Well at least they are trying to turn the nickname around, looking forward to see if major nelson ever calls it that lol
In the near future I can picture Sergeant Nelson saying that.
I am waiting for that day and It will be plastered all over the internet you watch haha.

I've been out of the xbox loop for a while and despise Major Nelson, but is there actually a Sergeant Nelson now???
